I would like to tint my car windows with an electronic dimmer control. It would be great if I could dark-tint the windows when I'm parked, too.

more about this idea...

I've seen that some office windows on high rise buildings use electronic polarization in their glass.  For automobile glass, it would be nice if they made it with a film in it that can dim in a similar way, using a small electronic current.  The technology is there.  I think for safety, you would not put it in the windshield, but the rest of the windows, at just the press of a button, could tint from light to very dark.  If the system had a battery backup, it could use that to power the tinting current while parked.  This would help keep out sun and prying eyes.  I got this idea from watching someone dim a window on a high-rise building.  I thought how many times I wanted to tint the back or side window so that the sun didn't shine into my young daughter's face while she is buckled in.  I think this would be a nice and well used feature in automobiles.

I got ticketed for having my windows too dark on the front sides of my car, but where I live is HOT most of the year. It would be nice to have the tint road legal when I drive but when I park it, have the tint go as dark as possible.
